Tris
I couldn't sleep at all; picturing my dead parents hunts me every time I close my eyes. Is hard to fall asleep knowing there is no one out there to help you, there is no one out there that can help me. My parents died saving us, but little did they know that their own son was betraying them. I need to get out of this dump and begin my investigation I may not know many things but one thing is for sure my parents die because they knew something about the Chief, and I intend to find out what it was.
I need to get my ass out of bed and go get something to eat. If I remember correctly there was a dinner not too far from here.
"They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day" I really should stop talking to myself before I start answering myself back. I get ready in half hour, get on my jeep and head out to the dinner.
I park my car and step out, walking towards I notice this place really looks like crap. I get inside and head straight to the counter. I stand there waiting for the waitress to come and get my order when I feel a pair of eyes staring my way, from my peripherals I can see a pair of ocean blue eyes gawking at me.
"Can I help you" I ask annoy I don't have time for games.
He clears his throat he looks surprise as if he didn't know I would respond in such way. Now that I have a better look at his face he is really handsome, his eyes are these weird shade of blue they seem as if they can see right to my core. His features are much defined, he has a strong jaw his nose hooks at the end. That nose where I have seen that nose before.
'Sorry I thought you look familiar" he says apologetic
He thinks I look familiar ok Beatrice don't panic I mean if he wanted me dead he could have done already I need to think fast.
""Well I can clear that up for you in two seconds; I don't look familiar because I don't know you" I state rather harshly. Hopefully he gets to stop asking questions, I need to get the hell out of here fast.
I see his mouth opening and I think Oh! God not another question
"I'm four are you new around here" he introduces himself, really a number is your name so I let my curiosity take over just a bit. I shake his hand and I swear I never felt anything like this before a wave shock runs all over me. I want to know more about him, I want to know what secrets his eyes hold.
I start to small talk.
'Yeah, I'm just staying around here for a few days."
'My name is Beatrice but you can call me Tris" I'm starting a new life I will have a new name.
"Nice to meet you" never breaking away.
I want to know why his name is a number "You said your name is four is that some sort of nick-name or something"
"You can say that, maybe one day I will tell you my real name" did he just wink at me, cocky son of a bitch.
"What makes you think I will be around for that long?" I smile at him ever so sweetly.
"I get the feeling I'll be seeing you around Tris." Then he does something unexpected he puts his mouth close to my ear and whispers the last part. This made my heart beat faster; he got me so nervous in matter of seconds. I NEED TO LEAVE I scream in my head.
I take my hand back "Well Four I must get going" I turn on my heels and leaves.
I get to my car and let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. I need to clear my head I can't let this one guy get to me the way he did. He is cute really cute.
I drive back to the city to a small town call Abnegation I was there only once, but I remember how to get there. I need to try my luck and see if Susan is working today she must know what is going on.
I pull in front of the shoe store where Susan works forty-five minutes later. I'm greeted by a very talkative sales girl. Oh! My can she really talks that fast, is that even possible
'hey, can you stop talking so damn fast" I tell her, she looks at me as if I had two heads.
"Sorry I just get really excited when we get new customers" her response amuses me because I guess they don't get to many people.
"Is ok, I'm looking for someone maybe you can help me find her" is hard for me to ask in such polite way but I must pretend if I want this chatter box to tell me where Susan is.
She looks disappointed for some odd reason "OH! I though you wanted to buy shoes, I mean you could actually use some help with your entire wardrobe, but hey who the hell am 'I to judge" she bluntly states. Who does she think she is to talk about my wardrobe I mean ok I might not know fashion but I like the way I dress
"Who do you think you are I simply asked you if you could help me find someone and your answer is that I NEED HELP WITH MY WARDROBE" by the end I'm shouting the nerve of her.
"Ok whatever I was giving you some friendly advice" she retorts.
"We are not friends and I don't need advice" I spit out at her.
"Not from where I stand" she mumbles to herself
"What was that?" – "Nothing" she says smiling at me.
"I will go to the back and get Susan for you" she walks to the back of the store.
After a few minutes Susan walks out, the moment she sees my face is like as if she was looking at a ghost. I know what she is thinking and she better not be stupid enough to do it.
"Susan don't you dare" I spit at her
She takes off running out the back door. I run after her so far she is the only lead I have. I chase her for about three blocks luckily she is clumsy enough to trip over a garbage can.
"Please Beatrice don't hurt me, I don't know anything" she pleads with me.
"Oh is that so you and I need to take a little walk Susan" I yank by her arm and pull her up we walk back to my jeep. I tell to get in and we drive for a about a half an hour until I reach an abandon warehouse.
I pull over run to the passenger seat and drag her out.
"Move bitch" I tug on her arm not caring that it will leave a mark.
"Susan you better speak or I promise you that this will be your last day" I hope she doesn't catch my bluff I want justice but am I not a cold blood killer.
"Beatrice If I talk they will kill me" she sobs
"If you don't tell me everything I will Susan, the way I see it you have no choice" please take the bait I pray within.
"Beatrice, Caleb is not what you think your brother is driven by power. The Chief is one of the biggest Kingpin of Chicago Beatrice you don't understand this is bigger than you and me. Your father wanted to put him and his crew away forever he had evidence to do so until Caleb found out and sold your family out"
I can't believe my brother would do all this. We were raised in the same house with the same values. Our parents taught us to be selfless, to be good people that would help anyone in need. What happen to Caleb when did he change. I quickly snap out my trance.
"What else Susan" I need to get as much information out of as I can.
"There is only one person that can help you she has looked for reliable allied. Her name is Christina her boyfriend Will was an undercover cop who infiltrated the Chief's operations but he was caught and murder. Christina wants revenge and I know she will help".
'How do I find her" I question.
"You already did, she is the chatter box that works with me I believe you already had the pleasure of meeting her. You need to be careful Beatrice you don't know what you are in for; the Chief will stop at nothing. He has two trusted goons the Pedrad brothers and his only son"
Right before she can tell me his name her head snaps back with such force that it breaks her neck. Shit someone found us shit I need to get out of here fast. I run as fast as I can to my car ducking in between old containers. I'm grateful that I'm small is easier for me to hide. Bullets are still flying and I know they want me dead. I make it to my car turn the engine on and I drive off hitting old container while bullets are still flying my way. I make sharp right turn putting back in the highway. I think I lost them, whoever they were.
"I need to go back and find this Christina chatter box or not her and I will take the chief down"
I park in the back alleyway of the shoe store hoping that I didn't miss her. It's now 5:50 p.m. the store will be closing in the next ten minutes; I just hope she is the one who closes. Around 6:15 p.m. I see a tall skinny girl with olive skin leaving. I didn't notice before but she is really pretty she could be one of those models you see on those fashion magazines. I get out of my car and make my way to her. She doesn't see me at first and I don't want to startle her, I call out to her.
'Hey can I talk to you?" I ask hoping she would oblige.
"Well hello came back for fashion advice?" she patronizes me.
"Yeah you can say that listen I came to apologize and wanted to see if you wanted to get coffee or something my treat" I ask her.
"I don't know what delusion you are driving on but just because it's been a while does not mean I swing with my team, so thanks but no thanks" does she think I'm a lesbian AHHHH this girl makes me want to pull out my hair.
'No you ass-wipe I'm not asking you out, I simply have a business proposition and I want you in. I think it be very beneficial for the two of us to team up" I give her some information because I don't know just yet if she can be trusted.
"Ok fine there is this little café that we can go, but the moment I feel like you are hitting on me I walk away, understood?" WOW! Is all I can think….
"Whatever FYI if I was a lesbian you are not my type, you talk way too much for my liking" I hope that bursts her bubble.
We drive to a little café that is about three miles away from the shoe store in an uncomfortable silence. When we arrive I order a small caramel ice latte with extra hip cream, Christina orders a large mocha latte.
"Let's get straight to the point" I burst out wanting to break the ice.
"I know your name is Christina, Susan told me, and by the look on your face you know where I'm going with all this" I try reading her expression maybe I shouldn't have been to forward.
"Listen whatever you are selling I'm interested in buying" she walks to leave but not before I grip her and beg her to hear me out.
"Please let me explain what I know" I hope she can help me; maybe together we can bring the Chief down. I go on and tell her what Susan told me about his goons, and how they murder her boyfriend. I even tell her about Caleb and how they murder my parents. She seemed to empathize with me, we both need each other.
"That's all I know" by the time I'm done she had tears in her eyes.
"Please Christina help me help you" I plead. I hope she wants to do this as much as me. We both need closure; we both need justice for the ones we lost to this manic that calls himself the Chief.
"He was everything to me; we didn't know each that long only six months but those were the best six months of my life." Finally breaking the silence, she must be talking about her boyfriend but I won't interrupt just to clarify.
"When he infiltrated the Chiefs group as one of his own, I was scared that they would find out his true identity. I told him to be careful, one night he said he was going to be late because he needed to work late, he told me not to wait up for him" the sadness in her voice in inevitable.
I place my hand on top of hers reassuring her that she is no longer alone fighting this battle.
"That night he never came home, they found his body by the side of the river. Not only did they kill him in cold blood but they torture him first before killing him. He was severely beaten, his fingernails from both his hands and toes were missing, and both knee caps were broken. Tris if you are serious then we need to do this no matter what we need to bring the Chief down; I'm with you all the way."
Giving me a small smile we made a pact right then and there in this little café. The Chief would pay for everything. His time was coming.
"What do you know about his goons" I ask
"He has two they are brothers. His only son will take the throne sort of speak when the Chief dies I know he has a nickname but I can't remember but I do know his name Tobias, Will told me once when we were pillow talking"
"Tobias huh" ok I think I had heard enough for today I asked the waiter for the check and picked up the tab.
"Well I need to get going; do you want to meet tomorrow? I can give you a ride home if you want" I ask her.
"No is ok I don't leave far from here, definitely meet me tomorrow at the Piers" she makes our plans
"Ok great I'll see tomorrow around 7:00 p.m." she nods in agreement, grabbing her belongings she wave and walks out the café leaving me there figuring what are next step should be.
I exit the café when I bump into someone I look up and I'm met with the same ocean blue eyes I encounter earlier.
"Hi! Four is it" I give him a smile.
Until we meet again fellow readers. Please review and tell me your honest opinion. There will be Four/Tris fluff but give me time to get there. Please review, I want reviews.
Thank yououuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
